Guest reviews for Champneys Forest Mere

3 out of 5
We stayed for 2 nights, it’s a beautiful property and location, interior of the hotel is lovely and calming. However the customer service is appalling. Lack of staff and a complete lack of care and attention by the staff that are there. No smile or pleasantries, not one member of staff even said “good morning” when you ask for something it’s greeted with a grunt or a huff. Staff are slow to respond and the queue to be seated at breakfast is ridiculous. Tables/ glasses not cleared throughout the hotel, chairs/sun beds not tidied, wet towels just left where guests have discarded them. The indoor facilities (pool, jacuzzi etc) are great but sadly let down by the fact it’s a mess. It has the foundations to be an incredible resort but completely let down by the service. We stayed for our 16th anniversary but there were no nice touches to our stay, or even an acknowledgement at check in, we were greeted with disregard. Treatments were expensive with average quality, again let down by lack of personal touch towards guests.

Thank you for your constructive feedback

2 out of 5

beautiful settings

Cons: Little extra and bad service in the restaurant.
For an hotel 4* commending a huge cost, you would expect a top notch service, reception and hotel staff which we didn't get. We had to beg to get a pack of 2 biscuits after our gym session. No biscuits in the room or anywhere else in the hotel, service in the restaurant bad. We and others tables waited one hour to be served. You get the feeling that everything is done to a minimum, not a little extra to please the clients. Disappointed!
